I am just sick of making 15 an hour. I have been working for nearly 10 years now. 9 of those years was for another company that I should have left a long time ago, but my younger naive self was happy to get paid. Now that I am older and accepting another job at 15 an hour because I spent a whole year looking for a job that paid more and got nothing. I don't understand what I am doing wrong. I have plenty of office experience, customer service experience and other skills. I feel that I should AT LEAST be making 20 an hour. Heck people even want 20 an hour to be the new standard so what gives? I don't feel that I am old yet I am under 30. Yet when I apply to jobs offering 15 an hour I get hired almost instantly. I know one way to look at it is 30k a year is better than 0k a year, but I still can't afford a place to live. I just feel so stuck sometimes it's aggravating. Nobody making 15 an hour should feel stuck even if you've only worked for a year, two years, three years, etc.
